The very best après ski is found at Fairmont Hot springs Resort. Nothing matches an exhilarating day on the slopes in the ruggedly beautiful Rockies, followed by a revitalizing and soothing soak in our famous mineral hot pools. Every ski lift pass includes FREE entry to Canada’s largest natural hot mineral pools.

The mountains also beckon nordic skiers, snowshoers, and snowmobilers, while the frozen surfaces of Lake Windermere and the famous Whiteway are perfect for skating and hockey on one of the biggest ponds you`ll ever play. Our guides at B.C. Rockies Adventures have a wide array of other activities to enjoy during the snowy months. From winter hiking to geocaching and bird watching, the team can help you discover the great outdoors.
